The combination of an orchestra-sized body and a deep, comfortable cutaway makes the Bedell BDMCE-18-M a guitar that just begs to be played. Building on Bedell's proven reputation for bringing classic craftsmanship and musicality to all their acoustic instruments, this guitar is built from laminated mahogany for the back and sides with solid Alaskan sitka spruce for the top. The result is an acoustic-electric that sings with a warm yet focused sound whether unplugged or amplified via the onboard Fishman Isys-T electronics. The sturdy dovetail neck joint lends a ringing resonance to the entire instrument, while the deep cutaway allows easy extension up the entire rosewood fretboard. Backed by Bedell's constant commitment to quality construction, the BDMCE-18-M is an outstanding choice for singer-songwriters everywhere.
